George and Cindy Anthony Divided Over Casey’s Innocence: Dr. Phil
George and Cindy Anthony are divided over daughter Casey Anthony’s role in 2-year-old Caylee’s death and Cindy Anthony is “very much” in denial, Phil McGraw said on “The View” today.
The first part of McGraw’s two part interview with George and Cindy Anthony will air Tuesday on the “Dr. Phil” show. It is the first interview for the parents of Casey Anthony since their 25-year-old daughter was acquitted of murdering Caylee. McGraw told the ladies of “The View” that Caylee’s grandparents said they still don’t know what happened to the toddler and they have not seen or talked to their daughter since she was acquitted.
He said the two are divided over whether their daughter could have murdered Caylee or dumped the little girl’s body in the woods.
“They have a very different view of that. He [George Anthony] is very critical. She [Cindy Anthony] seems to make an excuse at every turn,” McGraw said.
“They question themselves every minute of every day. What did we fail to see? What could we have done differently? Their position is up until the pregnancy, she was showing reasonably normal behavior and then it began to change,” McGraw said.
In one clip from the interview played on “The View,” McGraw asks George Anthony about whether he had any role in Caylee’s death. Defense Attorney Jose Baez argued throughout the trial that George Anthony helped dispose of Caylee’s body after the child accidentally drowned.
Cindy Anthony defended her husband from those claims.
“George would never have put us through those six months of not knowing where Caylee was if he knew where Caylee was because I watched his heart break every single day and I watched him as frantic as he was,” Cindy Anthony told McGraw.
In another clip from the interview, McGraw asks the Anthonys about whether they believe Casey Anthony drove her white Pontiac Sunfire with a dead Caylee in the trunk. The prosecution argued that Casey Anthony’s car trunk smelled like death and that a strand of Caylee’s hair was found in the trunk as well as high levels of chloroform.
Cindy Anthony told McGraw, “Truthfully, to this day, I don’t know, to be honest.”
George Anthony said, “Do I want to believe that Caylee was back there? I don’t want to believe it, but I’m going by what investigators have told me. All I know is that Caylee is not with us anymore.”
Cindy Anthony famously told a 911 operator that it smelled like there had been “a dead body in the damn car” while reporting her granddaughter’s disappearance in July 2008. Caylee had been missing for 31 days before authorities were alerted. McGraw said that when he pressed the Anthony couple about their behavior during those 31 days that they went without seeing Caylee, they told him that they believed Casey Anthony was keeping Caylee from them out of spite.
“She [Cindy Anthony] got to a point where she believed that Casey was keeping Caylee away from her on purpose, but she said my mind never went to the fact that she could have done something to her,” McGraw said.

Like mother like daughter. That woman is as nutty as her daughter. I wonder how he has stayed sane all these years living in the house with those two.

Cindy Anthony messed up by not letting her daughter put the child up for adoption. So if they were still wondering where they messed up it was the day they found out she was pregnant. Solved that mystery. Listen to your daughter she didnt want the child!! Dont make your kids keep kids they cant deal with.

Casey Anthoney didn’t want a kid she should have kept her legs closed. That is what is wrong with people today. No personal responsibility and always pointing the “excuse finger” at everyone else.

George Anthony is Caylee’s father – I just know it. God knows the psychological, physical and sexual torture Casey endured from her father. That man is a control freak.
Posted by: Kim | September 12, 2011, 6:56 pm 6:56 pm
While I am tired of hearing about these people, I am sure it was George who made the decision that his daughter was no longer welcomed at family home because he believes that Casey killed Caylee. Casey and her so-called attorneys basically threw George and her brother under the bus during the trial accusing them of the worse crime imaginable. H*ll, it was probably Cindy who gave them the idea to do it.

““Truthfully, to this day, I don’t know, to be honest.” ~~~~~~ When someone says “truthfully” and “to be honest” and other phrases like this, it has been shown statistically that what follows is neither truthful nor honest in most cases. KIm, George Anthony was tested to determine if he was Caylee’s father. The DNA tests proved he was not. As for the alleged abuse/torture that Casey supposedly “endured” at the hands of her father, the very worst she said about George was that he MIGHT HAVE done something to her when she was too young to remember. That’s it.
Posted by: Mike | September 12, 2011, 7:13 pm 7:13 pm
Kim, you don’t know anything then. FBI forsaw Baez trying the sexual abuse line as a defense EARLY on and did a DNA tests to rule out both George and his son. Sorry, but neither were the father of Caylee. This information was part of the original trial testimony infact. Care to try again?

And they BOTH know what happened to that child but they still want to protect that “thing”.

Having a parent always making excuses for her instead of making her take responsibility for her actions is what caused Casey to become a sociopath.

Seriously people, all this vitriol, bitterness hatred and speculation is not going to bring Caylee back so what is the point in going on and on about it? Nothing will change by all this whining and complaining so do yourselves and your blood pressure a favour and just let it go. Hundreds of innocent children have been slaughtered in Afghanistan and Iraq over the last 3 months, are their lives less important than Caylees? Wake up and realise there are more important things to get angry about!

I think that Casey Anthony got away with murder!! I also think it is outrageous that people like Dr Phil would continue to give this demented twisted 3-some undeserved media attention and sympathy.
I think that they should take their ridiculous not guilty verdict and run all the way to hell where they belong!!!

We will not know who did what in this case. One day it will be revieled but by then Caylee’s deat will have paid for an it will not matter.
Posted by: Curly | September 12, 2011, 8:12 pm 8:12 pm
The bottom line is that George and Cindy have always been afraid of Casey and they didn’t want to risk losing their granddaughter so they had no choice but to put up with all of Casey’s lies. I honestly believe that they never thought that Casey would harm her own child. That is why they never reported Caylee missing all that time. When they smelled the car, they obviously knew that Casey was ok because they were communicating with her. They never dreamed that Caylee could possibly be dead. They just thought Casey was being her usual spoiled brat self by keeping Caylee away from them. There is no doubt in my mind that George had absolutely nothing to do with dumping little Caylee’s body… Why would he let his precious granddaughter lie in a swamp to be eaten by animals? As far as Cindy goes, she lied to protect Casey and the jury obviously bought into her lies. I just wish we could get some type of closure from the Anthonys, but somehow I don’t think we ever will.

I for one will never purchase any product being advertised on this episode of Dr. Phil EVER. I see enough on this clip to know that nothing new has been said, the mother is still in denial, the father is stil henpecked, and the baby is still dead.

@Time to Move On: “Hundreds of innocent children have been slaughtered in Afghanistan and Iraq over the last 3 months, are their lives less important than Caylees? Wake up and realise there are more important things to get angry about!” ~~~~~~There may be more important things in your opinion than the death of one child in the care of her mother, but there is no reason why people cannot care about both the death of Caylee and the deaths of children in Iraq and Afganistan simultaneously. Can’t you ?
Posted by: Mike | September 12, 2011, 8:30 pm 8:30 pm
This case is dead. I have to agree with Jstate83′s comment. Cindy made a fatal error in keeping that baby. She should of been put up for adoption, immediately. Cindy and George both knew that Casey was not mentally ready to be a parent. Now look at what a mess their daughter/ monster has done. I think what happened was Casey wanted to go out and she noticed that the cough syrup was not keeping her quiet, so she put tape on her mouth to scare her. Caylee threw a fit and did not want mommy to go out. So, Casey took it too far and smothered her. She got so mad that she went too far and discovered her dead. Then she had her boyfriends…ie jessey grund come over and help her dispose of the body. She put Caylee in a laundry bag with her blanket and threw her inside another trash bag. Then they went driving around and Casey threw her off of Suburban Street. That is why she tells detectives, ” I feel that she is close.” disgusting person. That whole family needs to wake up. God sees the demon within.

My mother-in-law died yesterday morning. She was only 62, and leaves behind a 3 year old (my daughter) for which was caregiver, and thought the world of. Contrary to the obvious MIL jokes, my MIL was a second mother to me. A finer, more truthful person you’d never meet. You don’t have to ask me if I care one fig for any of these people. I’d trade this whole lousy bunch to have her back. Sometimes this world just doesn’t make sense.

Anyone with common sense can perceive Casey Anthony is without a doubt a murderer. Her Mother is either in an absolute state of denial or is as crazy as Casey herself. Casey got away with murder because our legal system does not always work. Innocent people go to jail and guilty ones go free, its a bitter fact of life. I only hope that someday she gets her due just as O.J. did. They both belong locked up in jail for a very long time so they can hurt no one else.
Posted by: Rick W | September 12, 2011, 10:37 pm 10:37 pm
Twelve people found her not guilty, I for one thought she was really guilty until day 5. I called the jury verdict on day 5 of the trial. People need to understand that she was found by 12 people who were sworn under oath to determine her guilty or not guilty according to the evidence. The haters are going to get this girl killed and that is really shameful. People need to give it up and understand the 12 people who found her not guilty had their reasons.

Sounds like the case of the two liars riddle: You have two paths. At each path is a guard, they claim one of them only tells the truth while the other one only tells lies. However, the liar is the one claiming to only tell the truth, while the one telling the lies is also a liar. So both of them are liars. Just like George and Cindy…
If either or both of them were involved, the Anthony’s must all love each other a lot to keep things covered up.
Posted by: omgbreathe | September 12, 2011, 10:56 pm 10:56 pm
It sounds like the interview is going to be nothing but deny,deny,deny…especially by the mother (who sounds like a real nutcase). Dr.Phil said he would only settle for straight answers before he interviewed them. When he asked George if he believed Caylees body was in the trunk George said…paraphrasing here..”.I don’t want to believe it. I can only go by what the investigators have said.” They said “yes”…so obviously he believes she was in the trunk. But,the guy never gave a straight answer….it was a yes or no question he was asked….and he STILL wouldn’t say yes or no. Dr. Phil got screwed over by these two and proably wishes he never gave them a platform to BS everyone.
Posted by: Dave | September 12, 2011, 11:15 pm 11:15 pm
Justme, hate to say it, but the trial proved that at least 12 of us WERE just “out and out stupid” and acquitted this Casey nightmare……Plus many more on these posts who actually think she’s “innocent”? Cindy is definitely instrumental in the sickness that became Casey. Forcing someone to keep a child they don’t want is tragic. Caylee could be alive today- raised by an adoptive family who deserved and wanted her. And can someone please tell me why Casey still has a “legal team” making waves about everything when she is supposedly broke? What is she paying them with? Actually don’t answer that…..the possibilities are sickening.
Posted by: Cheryl | September 12, 2011, 11:21 pm 11:21 pm
George is hiding SOMETHING. I feel rather certain that there is something he knows that he is not telling. His suicide attempt also speaks volumes, in my book. Casey’s story of the death may be full of holes, but I think the part averring her father’s involvement has at least some element of truth.
Posted by: JLS1950B | September 12, 2011, 11:37 pm 11:37 pm
Good job ladies. God I wish the five of you could have done the interview. I just viewed the 34 Caylee pictures from a cell phone on the web. I thought I’d read/viewed everything that was out there. The pictures were tough to get through without tears, shortness of breathe and a sick stomach. How could she be gone? Buried like a family pet..Relative to your interviewing Dr Phil; he made mention of the 31 days, I don’t know how Cindy and Geoge could go that long with out seeing those big beautiful eyes and the cute/innocent smile. If I close my eyes I can see her – how can they keep going on, sleep at night, go on national television and LIE some more. Seizures just another denial tactic out of Cindy’s excuse book. Surely to GOD if they close their eyes they can picture her face, feel her touch, hear her voice. I wish someone could tell Cindy/Casey that children can be found in what was it 6 days – example Keinan Heibert – Sparwood BC Canada…Amber alerts, RCMP, search volunteers and mostly the media. They got the message out there about the missing 3yr old little boy; advertised the suspected abductor and scared the abductor enough that he discreatly returned the boy unharmed. Sound familiar??? If Casey had reported it the supposed nanny might have brought Caylee home. But, no hey wait – there was no Zanny. But if George and Cindy had got a grip on reality they could have excalated the situation way earlier. Issued an apb for both Casey and Caylee. 31 days of waiting IS THE BIG INDICATOR THAT THEY KNEW CAYLEE was dead. They stayed out of it. Washed their hands. Let the story play out. Portraiting the poor grandparents; devistated over the death of their granddaughter, BUT lying for her killer. Did Dr. Phil tell Geoge and Cindy when he didn’t believe them and question them further? Did he substantiate any of the seiaure stories(excuses)/lies???

Well yall made very goood points.. In my opinion cindy made casey keep and raise this babby at a time when she was mentally and physically unable to do so.. I think george felt bad and was in on the while thing after he found out casey, out of rage, killed caylee accidentally and needed a covr up.. Thats why he ran the search to buy time, as poor baby caylee decayed, so the evidence would be difficult to accumulate.. I see brains coming from him, cover it up make it look like a kidnapping but soon as she got caught, he washed his hands clean and said thats it i’m out. Meanwhile cindy has no idea and just wants to see the baby, and gets suspecious. I dont think Cindy knows the truth only George and Casey.. And their liers, so whay they’ve done are now whty they consider reality.. they’ve been accustom, cursed with such bad character, and trust me the mental issues they’ll have.. They didn’t get off easy.. Also go easy on them jurors, u try n make sense of this chaos, then be forced to take someones life based on the tale you were told.. Peace have a gooood one!

Making money of your child and a dead Grandbaby how wonderful and sick. Its no wonder the mother turned out like she is just look at who her parents are!

some talk about the mother getting off but at lest she faced a jury of 12 and like it or not they did rule as they did that’s more then her parents ever faced and sorry I believe there as guilty as there daughter. I am a grand parent and there is no way if my grandchild lived with me I would have let 31 days goes by as they all did. fact is my grandchild gone for a few days drives me nuts and yes she lives with my wife and I. so I do not speak with out knowing how I would feel this two are as guilty as sin in this just like there daughter!

To all those saying “get over it, not guilty” and the like. Do you honestly think the correct response to a judicial error, and this was a judicial error, is to ignore that it ever happened? What’s to stop it from happening again? How does the system get better at correctly identifying guilty parties (and sending them to jail) while also correctly identifying innocent parties (and acquitting them)? Nothing like people who want to bury their heads in the sand and pretend everything is just peachy because they don’t want to hear about the mistakes and their fallout. And mark my words, this jury verdict was a mistake, and it was a mistake that followed a known pattern for those who study jury decisions. Like the party who claimed to have known the verdict would be not guilty at Day 5, many others predicted a not guilty verdict and the reason for it, though they hoped this jury wouldn’t fall into that well-known trap. Juries routinely acquit guilty defendants when an even remotely plausible exculpatory scenario, even one totally not supported by any evidence or refuted by known evidence, is given to the jury. That’s what happened here. It was predictable, and it was pathetic. Most importantly, it is a known weakness in the system that leads to judicial error in a significant number of cases. We ignore this and “get over it” at our own peril.

Casey killed her kid out of spite. She did it to hurt the mom because the mom loved that girl so much. Loved her more than Casey probably. Anyway, they should have let her put that baby up for adoption & ADOPTED HER THEMSELVES. Once Casey saw the hold that child had on the grandparents, she used it as a pawn, weapon, bargaining tool, etc. Finally one day, she got sick of having to be a mom, sick of everyone being critical of her, sick of young boyfriends not wanting kids around, sick of her mom doting on the baby and in a moment of rage killed that baby. I do know this happened because she stayed in jail for 3 years rather than tell the “drowning story”. The drowning story was a ruse for the jury & they kept it hidden so the police investigators couldn’t poke holes in it & come up with proof against it. If it is really what happened we would have heard about it the moment they slapped the cuffs on, but no. At that point all we heard about was a fake nanny. She’s a baby killer. She needed the death penalty.

“If it is really what happened we would have heard about it the moment they slapped the cuffs on, but no. At that point all we heard about was a fake nanny.” ~~~~~~~She didn’t have the drowning story to give them then. She got the idea from a fellow inmate while she was incarcerated. She knew the “nanny stories” had already been eviscerated, so she switched story lines to the Caylee Death Mark XIV.

George Anthony is a BIG FAT LIAR. Why can’t anyone see that. An ex police officer smells death in the car and just leave to go to work…………..seriously!! Come on folks, I said it before the trial began and I will say it again, George is not right………..period. I don’t think he killed little Calyee, but he sure does know exactly what happened!!!! Cindy, she really doesn’t know.

pretty bad Dr Phil us to go on every news media to sell this interview,we all know this trial in and out,i followed it from day one.Cindy will never give up defending Casey she will enabler her till the day the devil dies.She has a guilt trip this was probably not asked the last day they didnt sit done and watch a video abou the visit to the nursing home on Fathers Day ,it was completely different sernio Cindy proceded to comfront Casey about stealing a check from her Grandmother and taking money out of her Grandfathers nursing home acct it got so heated she started to strangle Casey and thats when Casey took off with Caylee not the next day as reported.These two people dont know the meaning of truth or the meaning of lying..Cindy asserts to the question that what does she think the smell in the car was ,her replied i honestly dont know.Didnt she constantly say that it was rotting pizza in the car and the rotting garbage.Cindy and George knows that Casey killed Caylee. and all this Bs about Gran Mal seizures is ridicilous .

She got the drowning angle from Cindy’s cryptic message in jail. remember the “surprise surprise” comment after Cindy said that people where saying that Caylee drowned? that was a cryptic message from Cindy because Cindy is the ring leader and when she gives an order Lee, George and Casey understand her commands, is like they have their own way to know what Cindy means and want but no one else does. Casey heard about the other inmate drowning story 2 years later a few cells down from her she used bits a pieces to tweak her own story from 2 years prior the one Cindy commanded her to stick with.

I’m more upset at the INNOCENT people who get locked up and killed by the States than I am that this girl got acquitted. A JURY heard the story and saw the evidence and came to a conclusion. I’m okay with that. The system worked, whether we liked the outcome or not. BTW, I feel the exact same way about OJ. A JURY heard his case and came to a conclusion. I’d rather set five free that are guilty than to kill or incarcerate ONE innocent person. I feel the guilty that get off WILL get caught one day, but years and years of unjust incarceration can NEVER be given back.

Cindy is definitely in denial. Her latest excuse for her daughter’s psychopathic behavior is that Casey MAY HAVE seizures, which she believes are due to a ‘brain tumor’ — all despite the fact that Casey was thoroughly evaluated in the hospital, complete with MRIs and EEGs, and found NOT to have epilepsy or a brain tumor. The ‘seizures’ were labeled psychogenic. That is to say, she does not have a true seizure disorder, she has psychiatric problems wherein she either feigns seizures deliberately for attention or experiences something that might be mistaken for a seizure by non-medical people but which occurs for psychological reasons (she’s under stress or anxious), not because of abnormal brain electrical activity. One thing that throws Cindy’s latest excuse under the bus is that if Casey really did have seizures, her driver’s license would have been taken away from her. It’s really hard to tell who lies more: Cindy or Casey.
Posted by: Pondhopper22 | September 13, 2011, 1:41 pm 1:41 pm
Hey, MsT-mac, did you know that juries way more commonly let guilty parties off than lock up people who are innocent? It’s on the order of 8-10 to 1 What do you suppose the cost to society is when guilty parties get off? Do you suppose that some of them re-offend in serious ways that could have been avoided if they were correctly convicted in the first place? I’m sure that they are eventually “caught one day” is of great comfort to the people they victimize in the meantime.
Posted by: Pondhopper22 | September 13, 2011, 1:47 pm 1:47 pm
Cindy Anthony is obviously a neurotic basket case. What would these people do if the networks weren’t paying them thousands of dollars to talk about this crummy murder? Cindy Anthony should be brought up on contempt charges for lying in court. She is obviously in denial, which is a perfectly normal psychological defense; however she will need to break out of it and face the truth some day. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

The show was very disapponting. Dr. Phil tippy toed around the Anthony’s. In other shows I’ve seen him tell other guests when he felt they were wrong but not today.
Dr. Phil had said at the beginning of the show that what we would hear would probably make us change our opinion about the Anthonys. I heard nothing new – just the same lies.
Get real Dr. Phil

Telling us what Casey Anthony could potentially do is a waste of time. First of all she was acquitted and retains double jeopardy so that she cannot be tried for the same crime twice. As far as her parents getting involved, their views are speculative and do not change anything. Unfortunately there are a lot of Perry Mason’s who just will not stop opening up this judge and jury verdict.

Dr. Phil didn’t need to tell the Anthonys story, we already knew it..Cindy Anthony is not in denial she is still covering up for her dtr…The truth is more in George than Cindy, he just isn’t man enough to stand up to her…Just imagine living with someone like Cindy..what man wouldn’t do the things he did

As difficult as it may be,it is not uncommon for parents of murderers to accept the truth about their offspring. Jeffrey Dahmer’s parents showed enormous intergrity by acknowledging the facts about their son. Cindy and George long ago checked into “Casey’s World” instead of insisting she join the real world. How different things would have been if they had not patronized her delusions.

They don’t have a new story to tell, just new lies!
The whole family must have a brain tumor.
Cindy didn’t want to take Caylee away from Casey? Excuse us? Did we all go brain dead and lose our common sense?
Cindy knew Casey was pregnant at 5 months now, yet before it was always at 7 months. YADDA YADDA YADDA!!!!!
Either this family are the most pathetic liars that ever lived, or they are the epitomy of brain dead and have the worst memories, because they can never keep their lies straight. why didn’t Dr Phil just insist they take a lie detector test to ensure they were telling the truth, and they both would have ran, and this interview would never had of taken place, and Dr Phil could have set fire to his half million dollars, and would have gotten just as much good out of it. Why do the Anthonys’ lie so much? For the same reason pigs eat slop…………IT IS JUST WHAT THEY ARE!!!!!!
They aren’t in denial about anything. They are just stuck in liar mode. The only reality they know, is that they like money and this dead little girl, and a sociopathic daughter, have made them plenty of it at dysfunction junction.Maby when pigs fly, the Anthonys will tell the truth……….in the meantime, don’t hold your breath waiting on it!

Cindy Anthony i in DEEP DEEP DEEP DENIAL… I guess one day she will be able to admit that she raised a CHILD KILLER.

Cindy and George were NOT PAID to do this interview. I’m not a huge Dr. Phil fan myself, but he explicitly states that all they asked for was a donation to a charity that George and Cindy have started.
CAYLEE’S FUND: a foundation to protect grandparent’s rights, help to protect the interests of missing and exploited children and to help back the proposed piece of legislation titled “Caylee’s Law” which would make it a felony for parents to fail to report their child missing.
AND NO, George and Cindy will not be appointed as administrators. They have applied for licensure that will require an impartial board of directors, thus eliminating any speculation that they- or Casey will profit from funds recieved.
On the interview–Cindy needs to get her head out of the clouds. No mother wants to think her child capable of anything close to this, but it’s getting to be a little much with the excuses. George seems to have his head on a little straighter, and it looks like he’s decided to say what he thinks instead of just sitting by silently. I think the reason for his “indirectness” he may be trying to avoid any possible lawsuit his POS daughter might try on him now, we all know she’s hard up for beer money, and it’s been made very apparent that she will say or do anything to elevate her station in life without remorse. That is all.

One more thing…..I do not believe that George or Lee EVER abused Casey in ANY way. If anything, she was more damaged by her mother than anyone else. Not blaming Cindy for what happened to Caylee (as I think she, George, or Lee would have done anything to protect Caylee if they had any clue about what was to come), but she does share some culpability in Casey’s ability to lie and manipulate without guilt, because when she lied (or stole money) Cindy always had a ready excuse. This girl had no discipline growing up, therefore no reason to feel as if she’s done anything wrong–hence NO GUILT. I would call Casey a “learned sociopath”, in that I don’t think she has a mental defect, but a major character flaw. I don’t think she planned whatever happened to Caylee, but I think she masterminded everything else–and sadly, she played her family like a bunch of puppets on strings.

Casey was acquitted because she was overcharged! Instead of trying to convict her guilty a** of capital murder in the 1st degree, they should’ve charged her with manslaughter since there was no “smoking gun”. That poor excuse for a mother is disgusting & sick in the head beyond help. I was disgusted by the outcome of this trial, as I’m sure most of America was. Justice for Caylee is sure to come in one way or another I’m sure…

Do you believe all your lies? Do you believe in a schizophrenic post partum grand mal seizure disorder? Do you beleive that it was okay to leave a mother whom you claim has seizure disorders alone with a toddler near a pool? Do you believe that a high school drop out with imaginary friends will ever have a career? Do you believe you needed to defend your daughter now that the trial is over so you can create sympathy for her so she can make money off of a book deal? Do you believe Casey or George’s version of Casey’s childhood? Do you think you were a good grandparent who did everything she could to help find Caylee alive? Do you think that just maybe you should have followed Casey to see where she went to “work” every day? And what kind of “favor” was Casey giving her boyfriend when it was believed Caylee first went missing? Just wondering, Cindy,

if i was the judge i would have lock her up for lyin about the nanny lyin about the kid for a month is something wrong in that familly between those three and they know who is killed the kid. The father trying to commit suicide but before doin it let the familly know first, what a lot of crap if u really want to kill ur self nobody got know other wise you dont really want to die who you tryin to fool or is guilty concious, you will never get away with it you might in this world but surely God will punish you cruel people.

So ummm a lot of ppl who have opinions about this…let me say one thing. When a Jury believes wholeheartedly that someone has murdered a child I can GUARANTEE they will convict that person. Furthermore, ALL of the jurors had to AGREE on the verdict. If they had not agreed then it would have been a mistrial and guess what…. The case would have been tried again. You didn’t sit in that jury box and you didn’t hear EVERY single bit of evidence like they did. Now don’t get me wrong I’m not saying she is innocent either. Only saying that the evidence wasn’t enough to convict her. So until you have listened to all of the evidence presented, oh and by the way I hope all of you know, that the media only shows you what you WANT to see, I watched the trial CLIPS and ya so until you are present watching in person then make your own conclusions. Oh btw….God is the only JUDGE! He knows who did or didn’t do what.
